Note: "Gryneium or Gryneion (Ancient Greek: Γρύνειον), also Grynium or Grynion (Γρύνιον) and Grynia or Gryneia (Γρύνεια), was a city of ancient Aeolis. It was located 40 stadia from Myrina and 70 from Elaea. In early times it was independent, one of the 12 important cities of Aeolis, but afterwards became subject to Myrina. It contained a sanctuary of Apollo with an ancient oracle and a splendid temple of white marble.

Xenophon mentions Gryneium as belonging to Gongylus of Eretria; and it is possible that the castrum Grunium in Phrygia, from which Alcibiades derived an income of 50 talents was the town of Grynium. In 334 BC, Parmenion, who was one of the commanders of Alexander the Great, came to the region before Alexander´s invasion took the town by assault, burned it, and sold its inhabitants as slaves, to prevent the resistance of the people around. The city then declined." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.02.2020)
